About the Maine Philanthropy Center Conference

The Maine Philanthropy Center's popular biennial conference provides an important and rare opportunity for hundreds of nonprofits, funders, and consultants working across Maine to come together to foster relationships, build coalitions, and learn together about the urgent issues facing our communities. This conference will provide opportunities for attendees to move into action for working towards a vibrant, just, and equitable Maine. Through sharing stories, discussing trends and tools, and building relationships, attendees will create networks to tackle our most urgent challenges and enrich our communities.
